461. Southwest Incident

"You kid, you don't have any other skills, but you take your daughter-in-law closely!"

The queen looked at Xia Lishuang's gaze and never left Wen Ranran, and couldn't help but laugh and tease.

Xia Lishuang smiled elegantly, revealing a little shyness.

"No, it's also to see the queen mother?"

The queen was too lazy to be poor with this kid, so she just motioned to the maid on the side to add another cup of tea.

The aunt in charge on the side was about to go, but was preempted by Hu Duoer.

Wen Ranran blinked, and there was a hint of danger in her eyes.

Taking advantage of the gap between Hu Duoer and making tea, Wen Ranran breathed a sigh of relief, "I've really wronged my mother these days!" ”

Empress Tao smiled, knowing that Wen Ranran was talking about Hu Duoer.

"It's okay, as long as you two can be okay!"

Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang glanced at each other, but found that there was a deep worry between the other party's eyebrows.

"Xianggong, my father asked you to go to the study just now, but what happened?"

When Xia Lishuang heard this, the expression on her face became a little solemn.

"Well, the battle report from the southwest border pass today...... The Lan country is harassing our borders, and the war has begun! ”

"What?!" Wen Ranran and the queen were both shocked.

Until the last banquet, Lan Guo was still in a state of respect for Rong Guo, and there was no intention of going to war at that time.

And it's only been a few months, why did the war suddenly start?

"What can I find out why?" The queen's brows furrowed, and she also asked.

Xia Lishuang shook her head.

"It's not clear for the time being, so the most troublesome thing now is that the news I just got that General Yu's army was said to have been captured by unknown local forces when the squad returned to the dynasty, and now, General Yu's whereabouts are unknown, and the army has no leader, temporarily staying in the southwest."

Wen Ranran's eyelashes drooped.

When I was helping the emperor deal with the folds before, the folds passed back by the army were very problematic.

The founding of the country has only been three generations.

From Taizu's army to conquer the territory, to the establishment of imperial power by the first emperor, and now to the succession of the new emperor, it is only a hundred years.

The first emperor had a total of five sons, the crown prince died in the palace mutiny, the second prince guarded the northern frontier, the third prince rebelled, and then hanged himself, and the five princes sent southwest.

Today's emperor, who was the obscure four princes at that time, ascended the throne, it was also a depressed and turbulent country, and he had worked hard for so many years, not only annexed Anguo and expanded his territory, but also Rongguo is now considered a country and a people's peace.

And the king of Shu, who is now guarding the southwest, was the five princes at that time.

This time, the attack of the Lan State came strangely, and it happened that at this time, Yu Zheng's army was trapped in the southwest.

The whole thing seems extremely weird.

Once the military power is gathered in the southwest, it will definitely be a great threat to the capital.

It's no wonder that Emperor Huang couldn't take care of eating today, so he directly grabbed Xia Lishuang and held a meeting in the imperial study until it was dark.

"This matter is estimated to be released tomorrow morning, my father has been recently, it is estimated that he will have a headache for a while, you are a female official selection, but don't make any mistakes!"

Xia Lishuang diligently admonished Wen Ranran.

Wen Ranran nodded, indicating that she knew what she knew.

"Your Highness, please use tea~" A sound of tea in the tea made all three of them shut up.

Wen Ranran was almost stunned as she watched Hu Duo'er holding the teacup and walking towards Xia Lishuang with a pretentious step.

In such a short period of time, Hu Duoer actually made up again, and the whole person looked as delicate as a flower, with shy and timid eyes, secretly sending autumn waves.

Wen Ranran's heart twitched.

This is ...... In front of her mother-in-law, openly robbed her father-in-law? Aren't you too confident?
